From the listing agent
In the words of Emma Rich, NZSIR - Northland
Positioned on the corner of Te Wahapu Road and Waiaruhe Way, this generous 8,008m2 site offers privacy, native bush surroundings, and the potential for stunning views over Orongo Bay once cleared for construction. With a sunny north-east aspect, the property features a formed driveway, established building platform, and abundant birdlife.
The previous restrictive land covenant has been removed, giving you freedom to design your bespoke residence, or make use of the existing architectural sketch plan for a site specific dwelling, which can be made available with the sale.
Conveniently located just seven minutes from historic Russell and five minutes from the Okiato Car Ferry, this is a prime opportunity to secure a slice of the Bay of Islands lifestyle.
The vendor is highly motivated, with the price significantly reduced for a quick sale.

Adjacent DOC / protected estate
Within 54 m of protected land — Unnamed plantation reserve
Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
